Is there anything stopping someone from buying PRO days with real $, then gifting it to another player in exchange for in-game currency (or mats)? If not, is this intended and welcome?
EVE online does this with players buying PLEX with real $ and selling it for in-game currency on the market. Is this the direction prosperous universe is going with this update?

We have had an item on our roadmap for a long time (basically since the beginning) that would allow license trading similar to what EVE did with PLEX.

We removed it in favor of the PRO license time gifting feature.

We are aware that is is possible to pay with real world currency for these gifts, but we don’t support or recommend it. In fact it is in violation of our ToS (§3.7).

One could argue that trading in-game materials for real world currency has been possible before, the license gifts are just another item.

ToS 3.7 makes it clear that someone can’t sell premium features for virtual currency balance and vice versa to a third party. Thanks!
